workshops

With many years experience as an educator and learning designer, I prioritise adult learning theory, transformational learning and change thinking, and having authentic conversations that can shift practice. These sessions are interactive, engaging, and rooted in adult learning theory to ensure lasting impact.

Working closely with internal teams, organisation's vision and key environmental concerns are integrated, helping to create meaningful 'aha' moments and cultural shift.

Plus, the Trauma Informed Leadership social enterprise business model means every booking supports free training for small nonprofits and community groups!

My workshops are:

Tailored to your audience: all workshops are customised to support your specific needs and context
Compelling and evidence based: I am a big believer in radical candor (with compassion) and have a love for engaging workshops that deliver value beyond the happy sheet with reflective practice and actionable insights.
Aligned with your organisational corporate social responsibility goals: As a small trauma-informed social enterprise with goals bigger than making a sale, my mission supports your values in action - and you get the feel-good factor of supporting small nonprofits and volunteer trauma-informed professional development.

tailored workshops + learning strategy

tailored workshops

Elevate your team's trauma-informed leadership and change capabilities through customised programs.

These programs are built to be aligned with your organisational goals and build upon existing strengths to foster lasting impact.

Whether you’d like to design something new or create a customised organisational/team change program, we will work closely with your team to ensure alignment with existing strategy and leadership/learning approaches.

custom learning + change strategy

With my specialist organisational design and trauma-informed practice lens, I work with organisations to design tailored trauma-informed learning and change programs.

For organisations with a strong trauma-informed practice approach who are looking to embed trauma-informed leadership and change learning, to businesses entirely new to trauma-informed practice who see a resonance with their values and approach to people, tailored learning programs are designed with your people and goals in mind.

half day workshops

These introductory 4-hour workshops blend foundational theory with practical application, often incorporating optional seated yoga practice, deeper conversations, and reflective practice elements.

They are designed for varied audiences, and no prior in-depth trauma-informed practice or yoga experience is typically required (though some may be more accessible for workplaces with existing trauma-informed care/practice, or have previously completed Workshop A: Understanding Trauma & Trauma-Informed Practices Through Trauma-Informed Yoga).

Learners will gain insights into key trauma-informed concepts and begin to explore their application in various contexts through social learning and reflective practice.
